So why is Sony doing it? Shouldnt gamers unite and turn them down as well according to you?

Sure, and only the evil itself, MS, said "go on, let's rip off gamers! You know what? Charge even more! Ha!"

Srsly?!

"now it could just be a pricing error" but lets run the article for maximum hits before we do the journalistic thing of contact microsoft or ea to confirm.

Classy.

Ive already posted it was an Error on EA's behalf. 

Didn't stop you from showing your first impressions when you read the thread. It didn't stop you and others to assume the worst while making others "shine". Just shows people's way of thinking and prejudices.

In the beginning it was exploitation. As Michael Pachter said, gamers paid for it and because they paid for it, they are sending a message to the industry through their wallets. PC gamers denied it, Xbox gamers encouraged locked down gaming and subscription based services because it was "worth it". Microsoft and Sony are competing for the same crowd of gamers. It was MS who dipped into Sony's former marketshare (that they are currently taking back) and wooed them away early on who accepted this nonsense. That sent a message to Sony that it was ok and who could blame them when they were bleeding from risking everything to save Blu Ray and won the format war? 

Exploitation turned into a norm, but on the way brought their own service and wooed gamers into it by not taking away their subscriptions and locking gaming down, but rather the example of giving a real service to gamers. Xbox Live wasnt a service, it was a sham. Sony gave games to gamers because thats why they buy their consoles, right? To play games? Microsoft saw that what Sony did was working so it by copying them it gave them good reason to drop peoples subscriptions. 

You can rationalize exploitation all you want. Its here to stay because of MS. Sony used it because MS was making hand over fist off of gamers, but decided to implement it in a lighter way by making it only for multiplayer and the usual perks Plus provided.

Yes, a deliberate error to test the waters.

Next gen has begun.

LOL Microsoft were led by example like good little boys because sometimes it takes competition to show you that you're wrong. Look at the Xbox today and what it couldn't have been if people hadn't flipped their shit at Microsofts policies. Maybe it takes a guy like Spencer to appoloize for the games Microsoft plays with consumers and make promises for MS to be more "transparent" with consumers. 

Yes, I am on a MS bashing crusade. Everything I said was just made up because you want to ignore its existence.

I said Hopefully they wont allow it, not Sony and Nintendo are some morale shining light.

Your just showing your prejudices.
